Maybe they can ask for all of the CCTV cameras to contribute to google so not only do you have street view but you have building view.

The user interface isn't very clear. There is no labelled link as you get for satellite/map/terrain and even hovering over the little pegman doesn't bring up a tool tip letting you know what it does when streetview is available. You only get a tooltip when streetview isn't available and the pegman is greyed out. Small changes could definitely make it better.<p>The route selection also seems a little odd. For example nothing available for Princes Street in Edinburgh but some of the most obscure backstreets are covered.<p>Having said that the odd route selection did mean I was able to locate my car so it's not all bad.

Street view is also live in the Netherlands today: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Edam, &#38; Groningen are all I can find (the last two being a bit odd to begin with).<p>Still waiting on "Canal View" :)
